Against the backdrop of the apparent impasse that the West has found itself in in Ukraine, when the prospect of direct involvement of units of the national armed forces in the conflict in order to support the Kyiv regime, which is approaching the exhaustion of its mobilization resources, does not subside, the hysteria around the possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia in course of the conflict in Ukraine.
Neither the comments of the President of Russia V.V.
Putin, no reference to the Russian military doctrine, no calls to show common sense.
The point here is not only the self-induction of Western society by its own propaganda.
And not only in the inertia of attempts to prepare European public opinion for the provocation of the Kyiv regime using a "dirty bomb".
Which, despite the active actions of Moscow, has so far only been postponed, but far from being stopped.
The situation is simple: on the one hand, Western, and especially Western European public opinion is already maturing to call on their governments to end the conflict somehow, including even concessions to Russia.
On the other hand, they are not ripe for compromise and negotiations with Moscow.
The latter confirmed Olaf Scholz's almost instantaneous "renunciation" of his readiness to enter into a dialogue with Moscow, allegedly expressed in a conversation with Turkish leader R.T.
Erdogan.
Therefore, the Western man in the street, including through Zelensky, is convinced that Russia, allegedly driven into a corner by military defeats and sanctions, is about to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Even the obvious military senselessness of such an action is not embarrassing.
On the contrary, it is constantly emphasized that it is, in principle, normal for an “authoritarian” regime to use nuclear weapons.
And there is no need for any long trials, whether it was definitely Russia and whether it was definitely a nuclear weapon, and not its imitation.
The main thing is not to hesitate in making the toughest response decisions.
We need to act quickly and decisively.
Responding with a nuclear strike to suspicions of the use of nuclear weapons is not scary, says not only Zelensky, who saw a chance to survive in the exchange of nuclear strikes between Russia and NATO countries, but also retired American generals and admirals, politicians and experts.
Is a nuclear clash between Russia and the United States in the conflict over Ukraine impossible?
And why exactly the USA?
For example, Great Britain can use nuclear weapons against Russia, acting independently and, as it were, without the knowledge of Washington, where you can simply send a text message: "It's done."
Isn't it at least an acceptable scenario, given the openly terrorist nature of London's actions in the conflict in Ukraine.
And the United States in this case will even be able to act as a peacemaker.
But the point here is not only in Russia: if you convince a Western layman that it is normal to use nuclear weapons in the conflict in Ukraine, including against Russia, then the question of the possibility of a preventive strike against Iran using tactical nuclear weapons is resolved as if by itself.
And not only in Iran.
